Sleeper Picks

Sleeper Picks: Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide

Kevin Streelman (+5000) ... In a field of this caliber, he qualifies as a Sleeper. He’s slipped outside the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, but only barely at 58th. He’s almost the same at 60th in FedExCup points, so the foundation has been laid onto which to build at Muirfield Village...

Sleeper Picks: Charles Schwab Challenge

Scott Piercy (+15000) … Age 42; 10th appearance. As of nightfall on Monday, he was inside the bubble to qualify for the U.S. Open at the Dallas sectional, but he still had two-thirds of his second round to finish. (Weather suspended play until Tuesday morning. Ten spots will be filled when all ho...

Sleeper Picks: PGA Championship

Charley Hoffman (+15000) … It doesn’t make any sense when you attempt to digest that he’s just 3-for-11 with no better than a T40 (at Oak Hill in 2013) in the PGA Championship. Obviously, the tournament doesn’t have a permanent home, so it’s not a sightlines issue. Whatever the case, he still des...

Sleeper Picks: AT&T Byron Nelson

John Catlin (+15000) ... The 30-year-old native Californian is rapidly losing his label as an international man of mystery. That’s the cost of winning so often. When he debuted on the PGA TOUR at the 2018 CIMB Classic, he appeared in this space as a recent three-time champion on the Asian Tour. H...

Sleeper Picks: Wells Fargo Championship

Matt Wallace (+6600) … If you thought that Emiliano Grillo was an easy call as the most valuable Sleeper for the Valspar Championship – raises hand – then try the Englishman on for size. He’s 52nd in the Official World Golf Ranking and he enters with a solo third (Valero Texas Open) and a T18 (RB...

Sleeper Picks: Valspar Championship

Emiliano Grillo (+5000) … This is a good test for anyone with a poor short-term memory. It was just over a week ago when he shared runner-up honors at Harbour Town. If you’ve already forgotten, that’s the kind of thing that happens when the champion (Stewart Cink) runs away to win by four shots. ...

Sleeper Picks: Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Cameron Tringale & Roberto Castro (+4000) … If I’m adhering to the loosest interpretation of the disclaimer at the bottom, I’d rule out a duo who finished T5 in the last edition of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. However, that was two years ago and a lot has changed for the former Georgia Tech...

Sleeper Picks: RBC Heritage

Russell Henley (+5000) … Resides in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, so next month’s PGA Championship will be a home game for the 32-year-old who celebrated his birthday on Monday. Local vibe to his favor notwithstanding, he’s a phenomenal fit for Harbour Town. Currently leads the PGA TOUR in both ...

Sleeper Picks: Masters Tournament

Ian Poulter (+15000) … The 45-year-old from England just beat up on Rory McIlroy, Cameron Smith and fellow Masters Sleeper, Lanto Griffin, in the Group Stage of the Match Play. It’s the nearest object in his rearview mirror, so there’s enough positive reinforcement of his form upon arrival. His a...

Sleeper Picks: Valero Texas Open

Cameron Tringale (+3000) … You can’t spell his surname without “angel,” which is what receives its wings every time a golfer rings the bell for his first victory on the PGA TOUR. Tringale likely would say that he’s had a wonderful life, but he’s making his 297th career start as a professional wit...
